Automatic accept xcodebuild license

[tyilo]

This script will automatically accept the xcodebuild license. If it is not run as root it will show the sudo password prompt first.

#!/usr/bin/env expect -f
set timeout -1
spawn sudo xcodebuild -license

expect {
    "Password"
    {
        stty -echo
        expect_user -re "(.*)\n"
        stty echo
        set pass $expect_out(1,string)
        send -- "$pass\r"
        exp_continue
    }
    "incorrect password attempts"
    {
        exit 1
    }
    "Press 'space' for more"
    {
        send " "
        exp_continue
    }
    "By typing 'agree'"
    {
        send "agree\r"
        exp_continue
    }
}

Must have "Hit the Enter key to view the license agreements" expression as well. Otherwise this will not work if you run the script for the very first time.

#!/usr/bin/env expect -f
set timeout -1
spawn sudo xcodebuild -license

expect {
    "Password"
    {
        stty -echo
        expect_user -re "(.*)\n"
        stty echo
        set pass $expect_out(1,string)
        send -- "$pass\r"
        exp_continue
    }
    "incorrect password attempts"
    {
        exit 1
    }
    "Hit the Enter key to view the license agreements"
    {
        send "\r"
        exp_continue
    }
    "Press 'space' for more"
    {
        send " "
        exp_continue
    }
    "By typing 'agree'"
    {
        send "agree\r"
        exp_continue
    }
}

Nice script. But I myself do not want to provide a script that auto-accepts a license for another person. I leave it to the end-user to do so.

this is very useful in case where i have a build farm with 100 macs and every time i upgrade xcode i do not wish to log into every one just to click on license, instead use my distro tool to push the xcode package and run this in post script to get a new machine up and running

I give thanks to God. He is the only One who gives knowledge and understanding. Thank you Jesus!

With Xcode 5 onwards you don't need the old script. You just need this one liner.

# Accept Xcode 5+ License
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild -license accept
